Our National Holiday to celebrate our country’s inception in 1867 is July 1. It just happens to be that day today.
UPDATE:
It turns out that the fireworks were quite good this year. Fredericton usually goes a bit cheap on the fireworks, but it seems that this year there were a few pennies left for them this year. They were fired off from Carleton park this year, and the view was nice. There was a reasonable variety and a few new ones that I’ve never seen before (one that looked like a gyroscope, for example). After a nice show, the “signal went out” and a blitz of different forms of fireworks were shot off from in front of the lighthouse on the south side of the river. Nice finale.
Sorry - no pictures. Perhaps Fredericton Cabbie might have a few…
Since my camera is busted, I don’t feel so bad about missing the fireworks this year. Wish I could still go and see them though. Maybe it’ll be slow enough so I’ll be able to stick my head out the back door at work. :p
Hi Corey. Some changes around here then? It’s interesting that you’ve no sidebar. Don’t you miss it?
Hi Armen. There are times when I do miss the sidebar, but, at the same time, I also want the space for my content. I’m thinking that I might put in a little float, like on the old Greenwood theme, that drops down with, say, recent comments in it. I’ve also thought about an AJAX shelf at the top, but you have to be careful on how much you put in one of those, as those without javascript enabled will see it all at the top of your page and I want content (at least the title of the first post) above the fold. I may go back to a two-column design again, though. And, it might be soon.
Or you could put an Anchor link at the very top. That way if somebody wants to view Recent Comments, it will go directly to the bottom of your page.
I might just do that. This layout is certainly clean compared to others.
Due to burning the candles at both ends I missed the fireworks in Toronto this year, but I heard that they were nice.
